Applying geoscience to Australia's most important challenges

Abstract

Magnetotelluric survey data acquired in association with the L192 Georgina-Arunta Deep Crustal Seismic Survey. This survey
was funded through the Onshore Energy Security Program using the Auscope equipment from the ANSIR pool. The aim of the survey
was to produce a two-dimensional image of electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle over the western
Georgina Basin and the Arunta region of the Northern Territory. This information is complementary to the reflection seismic
and gravity data acquired along the 09GA-GA1 traverse.
Data are supplied as EDI files with support information.

Lineage

These data were acquired using Bartington 3-axis fluxgate sensors for long-period measurements and KMS LIC-120 land induction
coil magnetometers for broadband measurements. Data were recorded on PR 6-24 Portable Earth Data recorders with GPS timing
synchronisation. This equipment was supplied by AuScope.
Data was processed in Geoscience Australia to EDI files and modeled using WingLink software.
